Bryant Bank is proud to announce the celebration of its 20th anniversary. Founded on June 10, 2005, Bryant Bank has spent two decades building a reputation for exceptional customer service, community investment, and unwavering commitment to Alabama’s economic growth.
“Twenty years ago, we opened our doors with a vision of creating something truly special in Alabama community banking: a family-owned bank dedicated to serving our neighbors with heart and purpose,” said Claude Edwards, Bryant Bank President. “Today, what makes us unique in the rapidly changing banking industry is not just our family ownership, but our unwavering commitment to remaining focused on the customer rather than pursuing growth for growth’s sake.”
Unlike many financial institutions that have expanded across state lines, Bryant Bank has deliberately kept its focus entirely within Alabama, allowing for deeper understanding of local needs and more personalized service. The bank’s organizational structure is designed with the intent to not sell, providing stability for both employees and customers.
Bryant Bank’s customer-centered approach is guided by these seven core values:
We put our family first.
We put care into action.
We rise by lifting others.
We aspire to be legendary.
We empower potential.
We preserve our traditional culture while embracing innovation together.
We are collaborative partners, not just providers.
Throughout 2025, Bryant Bank will commemorate this milestone with special events, customer appreciation initiatives, and commemorative promotional pieces. Bryant Bank customers will be invited to a special in-branch anniversary celebration in June.
“Through economic ups and downs, our loyal customers have stood by us, just as we have stood by them,” added Claude. “This mutual trust and support defines who we are and guides how we operate. Our commitment to Alabama runs deep, and we’re excited to celebrate this anniversary directly with the communities that have made our success possible.”
